Despite Delays, Club to Open on Limited Basis
CAMPUS
► After four years and $1.25
million, the College's student
social space will open on Friday.
Construction delays cause
cancellation of some events.
by ADAM PAVA
QC Staff Writer
The Club will open its doors
as promised this Friday, but some
of the events scheduled will have
to be either combined or dropped
completely due to ongoing construction in the Spot. Only events
that were planned for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights will take
place, and all events planned for
weeknights have been canceled.
The Club and the Spot were
originally scheduled to open April
15, and had their opening rescheduled to April 26, and then again to
May 3 after numerous construction delays. "It is a minor miracle
that we are able to open the Club
on Friday," Vice President for
Business 'and Finance Harold
Hewitt said. "All of us are disappointed that the construction won't
be completely finished by this
weekend."
Hewitt did promise, however,
that "there will still be a righteous
party on Friday."
The College will not be able to
hold events as planned because

the construction on the Spot is not
complete. The city would require
the school to halt all construction
and build barricades around the
construction sites each time an
event is held. In order to comply,
all construction would have to be
stopped at noon on the day of the
event, costing the school money
and further delaying the completion of the Spot.
Because of what Hewitt described as "complicated reasons"
pertaining to funding, planning
and construction problems, the
opening of the Spot will be delayed until Fall semester. Currently, the Spot is lacking completed infrastructure, sewer lines,
air conditioning and ventilation.
The Club is also incomplete, and
will be missing the finished floor
for this weekend's Mona Kai and
Actress Judith Malina To
Speak at Commencement
SPEAKER
► Actress and artistic director
of prestigious theater is among
four people slated to receive
honorary degree from the
College this year.
by MEGAN A. TAYLOR
QC Managing Editor
Avant-garde actress and director Judith Malina will be the
commencement speaker, according to senior administrative officials.
Malina, who, with her husband, helped found the avant-
garde The Living Theater in 1947
and has since been its artistic director, will also receive an honorary degree from the College during the graduation ceremony on
May 24.
Malina received the Obie
Award for best actress in 1969
and for lifetime achievement in
theater (1975). She was also
named a Guggenheim Fellow in
1985.
More recently, Malina played
Grandmama in the Addams Family movies, and has a role in the
upcoming season finale of ER.
She also appeared in the movies Awakenings and Enemies, A
Love Story.
Professor of Theater Arts Jack
de Vries first nominated Malina
for an honorary degree two years.
She was unanimously approved, and just became available to attend commencement this
year.
Other recipients to be given
honorary degrees at the graduation ceremony are Los Angeles
Times columnist Al Martinez,
award-winning author Harriet
Doerr and secretary for the Board
of Trustees, Dorothy Lautrup Ball
'33.
Also, senior Rochelle Duplessis was selected by the Commencement Committee as the student speaker for graduation.
Duplessis, known for her work
to start an honor society for non-
traditional students, auditioned
and was chosen by a committee

Cinco de Mayo's celebration. The
floor will probably be completed
next week.
This Friday will be the first
time since October of 1992 that
the Club will be open. The construction, which has been in
progress for about nine months
now, is costing the College $1.25
million.
"We didn't do it cheap,"
Hewitt said, "we did it right." The
Club was originally shut down
because it failed to meet the minimum standards for occupancy.
"According to the city," Hewitt
added, "we could only use that
area for storage."
Because ofthe improvements,
the city gave a 30-day temporary
Certificate of Occupancy to the
College on Wednesday. The permit allows the school to hold
events despite construction being
incomplete. The permit also requires special safety measures,
including having at least five safety officers present at events to
make ensure students' safety.
